support Dot character in attribute name
Hi, I am working on POC on Windows registry data migration to LDAP Structure in one of my project. I am using apacheds-1.5.6 and ApacheDirectoryStudio-win32-1.5.2. I am facing issues while trying to add new attribute name containing dot character(.). I found that ldap does not support for dot character in attribute name. Can you please suggest any configurations needs to be done in apache directory server/studio to support dot character in attribute name? Please reply back. Thanks Regards, Pradip Sonar

Dot is not a valid char in an attrbute name per RFC 4512. I found that ldap does not support for dot character in attribute name. True. Can you please suggest any configurations needs to be done in apache directory server/studio to support dot character in attribute name? Change your attributes name to comply to the specification. M$ does not give a shit about LDAP and broke the specification on purpose, but I'm sorry to say that's not our problem. AD is not an LDAP compliant server anyway... Replacing every dot by an hyphen using a small sed script should not be a big issue though. -- Regards, Cordialement, Emmanuel Lécharny www.iktek.com
Re: support Dot character in attribute name
I can find no attribute within Active Directory's schema that contains a . within the name of the attribute. Could you perhaps provide an example of what you are trying to accomplish? -- -jim Jim Willeke On Sun, Apr 15, 2012 at 4:57 AM, Emmanuel Lécharny elecha...@gmail.comwrote: Le 4/15/12 9:47 AM, Pradip Sonar a écrit : Hi, I am working on POC on Windows registry data migration to LDAP Structure in one of my project.
